Now, normally I would say orporately it really ought to be RedHat, but you
need to be careful now about the  EOL'ing - I know your environment prefers
steady-state, so you may not want to get into the upgrade cycle just to stay
current. So, that said Debian should be more than suitable... I'm planning
to start playing with it in the very near future...

Any chance of a more complete description of your system?

Cheers
